Markham Mayor's Message - 2009

On behalf of Members of Council and the Town of Markham, I am pleased to extend a warm and sincere welcome to all those attending the 2009 Markham Fair, the largest four day agricultural fair in Canada.

The Fair is an integral part of our community.  From its early days as an agricultural society where farmers gathered to discuss agricultural improvements and showcase the fruits of their labour to the present day Fair which gives over 60,000 attendees an opportunity to experience the old and the new, from a horse pull to a demolition derby, from displays of home baking and crafts to the midway, from sheep shearing to live entertainment, there is something for everyone.

I applaud the dedication and countless hours of hard work put in by the volunteers and the support of the many participants who proudly exhibit their livestock, produce and crafts.

As Mayor, I am proud of your efforts and I am very pleased to have this opportunity to extend my best wishes for a successful and fun filled day at the  Fair.

Yours Sincerely,

Frank Scarpitti Mayor
